6.5" speaker recommendations?

Okay, this is for a first-gen '7, but it really shouldn't matter all that much... I replaced my front 4-inchers with a set of Inifinity Reference 452i's over the weekend. The car already had decent aftermarket Clarion's in it, but I manged to blow one. No shocker there. The sound was good before, but it's twice as good now. I pulled my back speakers and it turns out they're Polk EX602a's.. they're the second generation of eX's, as stated on the back of the speaker. I've heard they aren't as good as the first-gen one's, but I'm not sure. Basically, I'm looking for a 6.5" coax that will give me more sound than what I've got now. The highs are decent with the Polk's, but the bass is kind of a lifeless thud, no real force behind it. I'm thinking of getting another set of Reference's for the back, but I'm not entirely settled on them. Any advice? Oh, I've got a $30 credit at Circuit Shitty, so if it's something they sell, it'd be even better. thanks..

I have Infinity Reference 652is in mine, along with the 452i fronts, and they sound really nice. I think you definitely want to go with Infinities, to make sure the system sounds "balanced" due to similar speaker construction. Plus, circuit city sells 'em.

357, I'm pretty much set on the Infinitys, but I was just wondering. How is the bass in your car with them installed? As I said earlier, the bass now is pretty much a lifeless thud and very quiet. I'm hoping these will fix it somewhat, until I get the sub boxes built...
